My Dad has obtained this 1800 Ordnance Survey map containing the Haythornthwaite (then 'Hawthornthwaite') family origins in Lancashire - the village of 'Hawthornthwaite', as well as 'Hawthornthwaite Fell [an area of uncultivated high ground used as common grazing]' and 'Haythornthwaite Fell Top'.

Ms S and I went to a party last week and had an amazing encounter: we ran into a Ginny Haythornthwaite! She's the first non-related (as far as we know) Haythornthwaite I've ever (knowingly) met (and I'm her first too). She says her family say I look like a real Haythornthwaite in this photo, so perhaps I really wasn't adopted! She looks the real thing to me too.
